It's a good idea to have several months of food in storage; that's a
really easy way to hedge your bets, as is having a good local food
network.
My bet is on a brief, extreme currency collapse (loss of faith in the
dollar) rendering the dollar essentially worthless for a few months
while things get sorted out. Put your wealth in things that are
tangible. A currency collapse will wipe out the paper wealth of
everyone with investments and a bank account--and disrupt commodities
markets, which can disrupt food deliveries and make farmers plant
more or less, depending. But, as in the USSR, Argentina, and lots of
other places, currency collapses get repaired in a few months or, at
worst, a year or two. You just have to plan to survive that, and
adjust to the new system. It doesn't fall apart for long.
The US is much more food secure than almost any other nation. We've
got other things to worry about. Focus on what's likely, not on what
scares you.
